The IPC is organized every four years under the auspices of the International Palaeontological Association (www.ipa-assoc.org). After Sydney (Australia) in 2002, Beijing (P.R. China) in 2006, London (United Kingdom) in 2010 and Mendoza (Argentina) in 2014, it was convened in Paris (France).

The Fossil week, the fifth edition of the International Palaeontological Congress, is now over.

Thank you so much to all the participants who made the IPC5 by presentations, posters, discussions, smiles and kindness during these 5 wonderful days of palaeontology!
